What are the 13 amendment Rules?
The NZ Transport Agency is continuing and completing the programme started by the Land Transport Safety Authority in 1993, to update and consolidate land transport requirements – including those in the Traffic Regulations 1976 and other transport regulations, policy statements and Gazette notices – and convert them to plain language Land Transport Rules. Other provisions, relating to vehicle identification numbers (VINs) and alternative fuel systems, in the Traffic Regulations have been transferred into the Vehicle Standards Compliance Amendment Rule and the Vehicle Equipment Amendment Rule, with standards updated and provisions clarified. The amendment Rules also allow for two new speed limits (of 10 km/h and 90 km/h) to be added to the list of speed limits that can be set by road controlling authorities, and they correct errors in a number of Rules.
